made a list of all the clever & ridiculous blogs that make me laugh (see “Giggly Things” in my blogroll to get some lolz)

ate a lot of pepperidge farm cookies

Didn’t go to a party hosted by a friend of a friend, where I probably would have ended up having this awkward yet funny conversation:

Host: “Oh hello, I recognize you but I can’t remember how we knew each other at Carleton.”

Me: “Yeah, you were a nude model and I used to draw you naked. Thanks for letting me tag along to your party. So what are you up to these days?”

received a drunken text referring to “people huts” (???) from a friend at said party, in which she somehow managed to make an accidental hyperlink by typing I.am. I didn’t even know you could put hyperlinks in text messages. Was disappointed I didn’t get more funny drunken texts from her & still wonder what ppl huts are.

called my grandparents to wish them both a belated happy 93rd birthday (both were last week) as well as a happy 4th of July

wondered what it would be like to be 64.166 years older than I am now.

had some good girl talk about boys (what other kind is there?)

saw some boys dancing in patriotic underwear, got coated in citronella, bug spray & pot fumes while overhearing hilarious fireworks commentary from (hipster?) U students next to us, ran into pretty much exactly the people I expected to run into, and guffawed/winced/groaned/smiled at people’s tiny weird video creations at the Soap Factory’s Ten Second Film Festival
